'What a special spirit we have all lost!' Mekhi Phifer, who starred on the long-running medical drama with Dearon wrote on Instagram after hearing the news. 'Since the first day I met him on the set of ER he absolutely made me feel at home and welcomed. My brother will forever be missed! Many condolences to his friends, fans and family. RIP Deezer D!!'
